 Live from Germany, Michael Bohn presents: Acheron, Common Lisp's Google
 Web Toolkit

 Acheron compiles [a subset of] Common Lisp directly to JavaScript where
 it can be executed natively in nearly any web browser.

 Similar to the strategy implemented by the Google Web Toolkit, Acheron
 allows you to avoid the perils of JavaScript and use tools such as a
 REPL in this interesting new JavaScript compiler.

 Michael Bohn studied computer science at the Trier University of Applied
 Sciences, Germany and he now works there as a researcher of real-time
 systems and static program analysis.   Michael dedicated both his
 bachelor and masters thesis to Lisp topics: Dandelion (a Eclipse-based
 editor for Common Lisp) and Acheron.
